  Starting with an explanation of the geology, climate and hydrography and soils of the Hebridean Islands, the authors move on to a description of the many different habitats, from the sea and inland waters to woodlands and moors and hills. Part 2 deals with individual islands and their species and in Part 3 the islands are discussed in the context of their relation to people - starting with the old naturalists, and ending with current interest in conservation. The book is a result of many years of research combined with a passion for the area.

  This work spans the natural and human history of the Hebrides. Created from The Hebrides - a Natural History , this volume - the second in a trilogy - covers the entire history of the islands, from the sea-beds to the mountains. Plant and animal communities are studied on a systematic level, as are th geology and climate. The book is a complete ecological profile of the archipelago. Although each work within the trilogy complements the other two, they each stand as individual volumes.
